POS to BC Inventory Control

Are there any POS systems for a retail store front that can be connected to the inventory control on BC?

Hi,
I don't have an example to provide but as long as the POS system can speak to our available APIs then it is possible.
Here's a list of our current available APIs. -> http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/635/bc_635.html
I'll leave this thread open for additional suggestions and possible solutions.
Kind regards,

Inventory control

I want to know abt
what material movement is? and the different types of material movement.
what is stock initialization?
in inventory controls..

Hi........
what material movement is?
When you enter a goods movement, you must always enter the movement
type. The movement type has important control functions in Inventor
Management. It is essential for
o updating the quantity fields
o updating the stock and consumption accounts
o selection of the fields used for entering documents
o printing goods receipt/issue slips
Below you will find a short description of the standard movement types.
The reversal movement type is the movement type + 1 (reversal of 101 =
102).
101 Goods receipt for purchase order or order
If the purchase order or order has not been assigned
a stock type (unrestricted-use stock, stock in qualit
blocked stock) can be entered during goods receipt.
131 Goods receipt for run schedule header
This movement type cannot be entered manually. It is generated
automatically at notification of goods receipt for a run schedule
header.
261 Goods issue for an order
This refers to all withdrawals for orders
The goods issue can be posted manually in Inventory Management or
automatically when an order is confirmed or via a delivery in
Shipping.
351 Goods issue for a stock transport order (without Shipping)
643 Goods issue for a cross-company stock transport order (Shipping)
Used only for cross-company stock transport orders with SD billing
and invoice. The quantity is withdrawn from the unrestricted-use
701 Inventory differences in unrestricted-use stock (MM-IM)
This movement is generated automatically during inventory difference
posting in Inventory Management.

0IC_C03 Inventory Control Data Issue

Dear Gurus,
We have implemented BI 7.0 with the latest support package as of 1st May 2011. Issues are coming relavent to 0IC_C03 infocube for inventory control. I have followed the how to guideline but issues are there.
I have done the following settings:
1:To fill up the extractor for 2LIS_3_BX i have used the Transaction MCNB (All Stock Including non-valuated).
2: To fill up the extractor for 2LIS_3_BF i have used the Transaction OLI1BW (Posting Date till 2999).
3: To fill up the extractor for 2LIS_3_UM i have used the Transaction OLIZBW (Posting Date till 2999).
4: To generate the IP for 2LIS_3_BX for the opening stock balances the update mode CREATE OPENING BALANCE is not showing so i have used the update mode Generate Initial Status.
5: After running the IP for 2LIS_3_BX i run the DTP with extraction Mode "Initialize non commulative".
6: In the infocube Manage for 0IC_C03 i go in the collapse tab and enter the 2LIS_3_BX Request ID and uncheck the "NON Marker Update" to compress the request.
7: I generate the IP & DTP for both 2LIS_3_BF & Then 2LIS_3_UM and compress both the requests in the cube by the checking the "NON MArker Update"
8: When i run the query the data is not coming out right. Some records have negative values and some have wrong values.
Kindly tell me what to do.
Also, ive seen people using 2LIS_3_BF & UM only but not BX. How will this solution be implemented?

Shahzad Khero

Dear Guru,
As off now here are the issues:
Quantity Total Stock is matching the stock in ECC 6.0 in transaction MB5B. The issue lies with the Issue Quantity Total Stock
& Receipt Quantity Total Stock. The values are not showing accurately but the new balance per posting date are showing accurately.

As you can see the issue & reciept docs are different but the impact on quantity total stock is fine. On top of that the material documents showing in PSA are slightly more than actual showing in MB5B & MB51. Some material documents are showing as a debit entry as well as credit entry in PSA but in reality they have a debit entry or a credit one. Kindly give me a feedback.

NEGATIVE BALANCE IN INVENTORY CONTROL ACCOUNTS

Hi SAP Gurus,
Is there any t-code which could be used to pull;
- Inventory Dr items and GR/IR credit items - (Assignment to used is Vendor PO, Customer Sales order).
- Negative balances under inventory control accounts.
I search the forums but couldn't find any relevant information.
Please help, it's urgent.

Booking & Inventory Control

Hello. Is there a way to tie inventory into bookings, either with the catalog or web apps? Or is there a way to create a couple of bookings into one form?

jessicapugliese wrote:Is there a way to integrate a web form into one product?
Not if wanting to link to inventory control.
Couldn't you make the item a product and update your purchase forum with a few custom fields to collect the data required?

OPM Inventory Control

Using the Inventory Control resposibility on OPM, and doing a
Move Immediate or Move Journal.
Go to Inventory Control > Quantities > Move Immediate or
Go to Inventory Control > Quantities > Move Journal
IF we try to do the transactions above for an ITEM with no
quantities on inventory we got the error message.
APP-GMI-83185 Unable to retrieve quantities from inventory.
Doing and Ajust Immediate for the same situacion an ITEM with no
quantities on inventory we got the error message.
APP-GMI-83222 No quantities exist in inventory.
This error make a lot more sence to the user when they are
trying to do this kind of transactions.
Question : Is there any way we can make the other two
transactions (Move Journal and Move immeidiate) gave to the
users the same error message as the Adjust Immediate. All this
because the error is showing know to them is very confusing as
they think something is wrong with the item, or within the
application.

Inventory Control Solution

Our group has a small lab (networking, servers, other odds and ends) as well as a small equipment closet with general test gear (network analysis, spectrum analyzer, some installation gear, etc.). Unfortunatley items frequently go missing, either someone has them on a job or took them out and didn't replace them when finished.
I'm looking for simple methods you may have used for inventory control. At minimum it should note the equipment status (available, checked out, unavailable/broken), the date it was checked out and planned to be returned, and the person checking it out. Ideally it would also allow a "witness" or a controlling authority who would either authorize or witness the check-out. Historical information on check-out/in would be nice but not a requirement at this time. May be a future need.
Ideal future capabilities would include ability to include photos of equipment; record various information such as serial numbers, included accessories; state of condition/repair of main item and accessories; and other information that would assist in managing and maintaining lab equipment.
Has anyone used available (commercial or free) software, or developed a good internal spreadsheet or database for this function? What are your recommendations or experiences? Appreciate any feedback.
-Ed

I've built systems like this in the past, with any custom solution the devil is in the details, it depends on what you want to do and what you expect. As Liam has pointed out the API is your best friend here, you can develop something that pulls data from BC and puts it where you need.
If you try to do everything at once (all those sites listed) you might find you have problems, I would start with one site first, make any changes you need there and roll out to the other platforms.
Please drop me a PM I would be happy to assist in building.

Inventory control for waffer/die in substrate fabrication

Hello gurus,
Looking for advice for inventory control of substrate fabrication. Fundamentally, how do we configure SAP such that 1 piece of a component (wafer) may yield different QTY's of sub-assemblies (sliced die), and plan MRP at the wafer level?
We use a wafer, say W-1, that may be printed into different size die based on the pattern being dispensed. This affects the yield of the wafer- EX, we can yield 121 of D-1 and 242 of D-2 using 1 piece of W-1 based on the print of the die. My question is, how do we configure SAP to plan to order the correct QTY of W-1 with these requirements? We are not able to use a fractional QTY of the die BOM for the wafer (i.e. a die BOM to consume 1/121 wafer per W-1 die). We have heard of solutions using UoM conversion (where 1 die EA = 1 die Sq Inches, so 121 Sq. Inches = 1 Ea Wafer). I have also heard solutions for alternate BOMs based on lot sizing... could this apply here also?
(1) W-1 -> (121) D-1 -> (121) Assembly-1; Demand for 1,000 Assemlby 1
(1) W-1 -> (242) D-2 -> (242) Assembly-2; Demand for 6,000 Assembly 2
How to get SAP to plan to order ~34 W-1?
Using R/3 release 7.3
Regards,

Timothy,
If I understand your question correctly I think this is fairly straightforward scenario. First establish the following BOMs
BOM 1
Assembly1                                    121 EA
                D-1                               121 EA
                                W-1                  1 EA
BOM 2
Assembly2                                    242 EA
                D-2                               242 EA
                                W-1                  1 EA
For Material “W-1” set the Rounding Value (in MRP1 view) to 1.000.
If you have demand for 1000 Assembly 1 and 6000 Assembly 2 then when you run MRP here’s what would happen:
1000 Assembly 1 requires 1000 D-1 which would require 8.264 (=1000/121) W-1, but with the Rounding Value for W-1 set at 1.000, that gets rounded up to 9.
Similarly, 6000 Assembly 2 requires 6000 D-2 which would require 25.793 (=6000/242) W-1, but with the Rounding Value for W-1 set at 1.000, that gets rounded up to 25.
Total requirements for W-1 = 9 + 25 = 34.
Hope that helps.
Dave

INVENTORY CONTROLLED ITEM

Hi
Some items are in inventory dept.(Stores)
For that items PR can be raised by inventory dept only.
When others raise the the PR a message has to be displayed that this item is inventory controlled item.He cannot raise the PR for that item.
Pl reply.
Regards
Umapathy.M

If you really want that, then you may have to code this in a user exit.
But any inventory controlled item can be procured to cost center directly without hitting the inventory , keep this in mind.

Inventory Control software/App/Template?

Hi
Im running a small business on retail, clothing.
I need an app or a software to control inventory in which I can use my macbook pro for entering everything but is compatible with my ipad so that when i visit my POS I can modify stock quantities.
Does anyone knows an app or a software I could use??? Or maybe a template for numbers???

If you're looking for a full-fledged accounting software package, you can't go wrong with QuickBooks (they have a free trial product).
There are some $40 or so applications in the Mac App Store (minventory, for example) that do nothing more than manage (I suppose - I've never used it) inventory, but I don't know of anything better than QuickBooks.
Good luck,
Clinton

API for inventory control?

Can we use the API to update the inventory of product B when product A is purchased?
For instance:
We need to have a product listed at 4 different pricing tiers in secure zones for specific customers. Since Business Catalyst only offers retail and wholesale pricing tiers, we had to find a work around.
We ended up duplicating each product 4 times in seperate catalogs each one in its own secure zone. This solves being able to have each priced differently, however now we aren't able to control inventory for a specific product across the 4 tiers.
For Example:
Product A1
Product A2
Product A3
Product A4
Product A1 has been ordered, is there a way to use the API to subtract the number of Products ordered from the inventory levels in Product A2, A3, and A4?

I've setup a test login for the store. (http://malibuboats.businesscatalyst.com)
Username: 1234
Password: 1234
This is really rough looking but you will be able to see the problem.
All top level catalogs are full retail price (/men)
All sub catalogs are will receive a 50% off discount. (/men/shirts)
You will notice that when you add an item to the cart that is 50% off, it shows full price in the cart summery, cart and checkout. since this is still a test site i can't see if it charges the card the full amount or not.
Thanks for your help.

Poor inventory control

Several days ago I noticed that the Diablo 3 expansion, Reaper of Souls (PC), was on sale. BestBuy.com showed that none were available in my area yet. I checked yesterday evening and it showed that there was one available as of close of business on 8/26 at the Towson, MD location. I waited til the next day and called the Towson, MD store shortly after opening. I was told that they did not have the item in question, but the White Marsh, MD store had one. I went to that location and there were none on the shelf. I told a sales associate what I was looking for and they pointed out that the newer games/items were held in the lockup cage at the front of the store. The clerk at the register told me that yes, they did have 1 in stock according to the information she typed in at the POS. They, in fact, did NOT have what I came there for. Needless to say, I promptly left rather irritated. You guys seriously need to police your items better so I nor anyone else gets sent on some wild-goose-chase.

Hello dave031579-
A wild goose chase you say? That definitely doesn’t like anywhere near the fun of actually playing the Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls expansion. I haven’t played the expansion yet myself, but this one just seems like a no-brainer.
All kidding aside, it would absolutely be aggravating to be all jazzed up to get the expansion (especially with it being $20 cheaper than normal!) and the store is not able to locate the copy their inventory says they have. We certainly expect our stores to be as pinpoint accurate as possible with their inventory, but as you found out here, sometimes things slip through the cracks.
With the current sale price, this expansion has been a hot item, but hopefully we will receive more stock from Blizzard and you can get your hands on a copy. Please feel free to check the link above for availability and in the meantime, I will forward your concerns to the store management. Hopefully that associate had the inventory corrected once it was pointed out it was no longer there.
Thanks for connecting with us!

Inventory Control of new houses (construction and sale)

Colleagues,
Need information about controlling inventory of new homes, the business process is from the construction and sale, but using the traditional solution of SAP ECC 6.0, not EC&O
Thanks

it sounds like you have a slow database server, or one that is sending the
data over a WAN link. When you deleted the database, it had to recover all
the information in the STR files. Normally, delta scans are done every day
or so to see if anyting has changed, and then a full scan every five days.
I would bump this up to 20 since usually there very few workstations that
will need a full scan.
For you boss, I would suggest that you nicely inform him that the inventory
pulled by ZfD is at least 80% accurate but never 100%. If you have a
workstation that is not being scanned, registered, imported, etc.. you are
likely to miss it. How do you account for the WS Removal policy which will
pull out inventory when the machine is not registered for "x" days. If
anything, use the ZfD inventory as a backup for internal components only.
Good Luck,
Ken Puett, CNE,CNI

Inventory Control for Expendable Packaging

Greetings! I am trying to set up Expendable Packaging so that we can control inventory. I added a new Item Category Group to use Item Category PO on Deliveries, and changed Packaging material to use this Group.
It is now showing Goods-Issue when posted in a Delivery, which is what we wanted.
However, it is also now showing up in the Invoice, which we do not want.
I have set the Item Category to "Not Relevant for Billing", but it still shows up on the Invoice and then causes a problem for "Item Category LF PO can not be Invoiced with Billing Type F2".
I even tried to add PO to the copy control from Delivery LF to Invoice F2 - it can now Invoice, but we get a "pricing error" and it shows up in the EDI 810, which we definitely don't want.
What is the secret to controlling packaging inventory but not having it appear on the Invoice?
Thanks in advance.

Timothy,
If I understand your question correctly I think this is fairly straightforward scenario. First establish the following BOMs
BOM 1
Assembly1                                    121 EA
                D-1                               121 EA
                                W-1                  1 EA
BOM 2
Assembly2                                    242 EA
                D-2                               242 EA
                                W-1                  1 EA
For Material “W-1” set the Rounding Value (in MRP1 view) to 1.000.
If you have demand for 1000 Assembly 1 and 6000 Assembly 2 then when you run MRP here’s what would happen:
1000 Assembly 1 requires 1000 D-1 which would require 8.264 (=1000/121) W-1, but with the Rounding Value for W-1 set at 1.000, that gets rounded up to 9.
Similarly, 6000 Assembly 2 requires 6000 D-2 which would require 25.793 (=6000/242) W-1, but with the Rounding Value for W-1 set at 1.000, that gets rounded up to 25.
Total requirements for W-1 = 9 + 25 = 34.
Hope that helps.

HL Physical Inventory: Control data for storage type is missing

Dear experts,
When performing an ad-hoc HL inventory in EWM, I'm facing following issue after I try to save the countet inventory document:
This is how my storage type where the inventory will be performed looks like:
What could be a reason for such a behaviour?
Thank you in advance

Hi Denis, you need to have the parent object in the counted item list. That means it is necessary to count the HU with parent object as Storage Bin and then you can count HU content with the parent object as HU.
When I deleted the parent object I was able to simulate your error:
